April 29, 2016 - Week 32

Hello Dale Street Community!

The students and staff had a very busy week the first week back after vacation.  Please take a minute and see some of the great things that took place this week and please make note of some important upcoming dates.

Our fourth graders and fifth graders showed great effort completing their first units of the PARCC testing this week. Bravo boys and girls!!!!!! Testing in both grades will continue next week.   

Dale Street fourth graders had a wonderful time on their field trip to the Museum of Science this week. Thanks to all of the parents who took time to chaperone.

On Monday afternoon, Grade 5 teachers worked with Math consultant, Mrs. Shephali Fox.  Grade 5 teachers participated in a lesson study observing a math activity in Ms. Bertschmann's class.  Awesome Professional Development!  

Bravo to Art teacher, Mrs. Deveno and Dale Street students who had artwork displayed at the Zullo Gallery this week.  The artwork and the night were fantastic!
